Dennis, do you have a listing somewhere or would you be willing to look at my Fisher's on my website (http://www.geocities.com/junebird3/)? I am desperately trying to break down this brick wall.

Hi Carol, I checked your website, if there is a match it would be a parallel. But I doubt it as per my last two posts/responses my Fishers only go back to the early 1700s in the US. And even then they left the US for Canada circa 1800. About 1900 two brothers came to Michigan but changed their spelling to Fischer. I do not have my Fischers posted anywhere. There is a Fischer/Fisher book that does have my line. However, shortly after I contacted the author and exchanged info I contracted a virus from someone from one of my other lines and lost everything that hadn't been backed up. Foolishly all my recent acquisitions had not been backed up, including contact information for that author.
